Abstract

The substitution effect on hydrogen bond stability of the Watson-Crick type base pair between 1-methylcytosine (C) and substitution-introduced 9-methylguanine derivatives (Gx) was studied by an ab initio molecular orbital theory. Introduction of an electron-withdrawing group on the 8-position or on the exo-cyclic amino moiety enforced the base pair stability.
